Hi David,

The planned usage for this CephFS cluster is scratch space for an image
processing cluster with 100+ processing nodes.  My thinking is we'd be
better off with a large number (100+) of storage hosts with 1-2 OSD's each,
rather than 10 or so storage nodes with 10+ OSD's to get better parallelism
but I don't have any practical experience with CephFS to really judge.  And
I don't have enough hardware to setup a test cluster of any significant
size to run some actual testing.

Thanks,
Nick
